Ann Gilmour Poet Haiku

Dreaming I Can Fly

dreaming I can fly
arms outstretched I’m flying high
my spirit and I 

dreaming I can fly
luna love she sends to me 
moonbeams pass me by

dreaming I can fly
spaceships zooming I espy
blinking of an eye

dreaming I can fly
zillion stars lighten my way
turning night to day

dreaming I can fly
looking down on earth below
cherishing life's worth

rousing from my dream
will folks doubt when I tell them
sights that I have seen

loving life on earth
but crave my nightly flights to
sate my soul each night

John Watt April 27, 2020 at 11:34 PM Your string of pearls about flying is so delightful, my Sky Friend! I think it must be everybody's favorite dream (though I don't stay asleep long enough anymore to have many dreams, alas!) You brought in some nice aspects of the sky: the stars and "luna love", as well as the enchanting elation of looking down upon the earth! A charming write, Ann. Ann Gilmour April 29, 2020 at 5:11 PM Bless you dear John for your wonderful comments, and I loved the 'string of pearls' ... You have such a way with words and I thank you dear friend. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Caren Krutsinger July 27, 2019 at 4:52 AM I still dream this because I believe our souls do fly at night when we dream. A lovely series of haiku, lovely! Well done! Ann Gilmour July 27, 2019 at 5:09 AM Many thanks Caren for your most welcome visit and lovely comments. It is the sheer freedom of flying like a bird that is so appealing to me and as a child I had these dreams, but sadly they no longer happen - but I live in hope! Kindest thoughts Ann xx
